< Matthew 6 >

1 “Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
sāvadhānā bhavata, manujān darśayituṁ teṣāṁ gocare dharmmakarmma mā kuruta, tathā kṛte yuṣmākaṁ svargasthapituḥ sakāśāt kiñcana phalaṁ na prāpsyatha|
2 So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
tvaṁ yadā dadāsi tadā kapaṭino janā yathā manujebhyaḥ praśaṁsāṁ prāptuṁ bhajanabhavane rājamārge ca tūrīṁ vādayanti, tathā mā kuri, ahaṁ tubhyaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi, te svakāyaṁ phalam alabhanta|
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
kintu tvaṁ yadā dadāsi, tadā nijadakṣiṇakaro yat karoti, tad vāmakaraṁ mā jñāpaya|
4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
tena tava dānaṁ guptaṁ bhaviṣyati yastu tava pitā guptadarśī, sa prakāśya tubhyaṁ phalaṁ dāsyati|
5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
aparaṁ yadā prārthayase, tadā kapaṭina̮iva mā kuru, yasmāt te bhajanabhavane rājamārgasya koṇe tiṣṭhanto lokān darśayantaḥ prārthayituṁ prīyante; ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, te svakīyaphalaṁ prāpnuvan|
6 But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
tasmāt prārthanākāle antarāgāraṁ praviśya dvāraṁ rudvvā guptaṁ paśyatastava pituḥ samīpe prārthayasva; tena tava yaḥ pitā guptadarśī, sa prakāśya tubhyaṁ phalaṁ dāsyati
7 And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
aparaṁ prārthanākāle devapūjakāiva mudhā punaruktiṁ mā kuru, yasmāt te bodhante, bahuvāraṁ kathāyāṁ kathitāyāṁ teṣāṁ prārthanā grāhiṣyate|
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
yūyaṁ teṣāmiva mā kuruta, yasmāt yuṣmākaṁ yad yat prayojanaṁ yācanātaḥ prāgeva yuṣmākaṁ pitā tat jānāti|
9 So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
ataeva yūyama īdṛk prārthayadhvaṁ, he asmākaṁ svargasthapitaḥ, tava nāma pūjyaṁ bhavatu|
10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
tava rājatvaṁ bhavatu; tavecchā svarge yathā tathaiva medinyāmapi saphalā bhavatu|
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
asmākaṁ prayojanīyam āhāram adya dehi|
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
vayaṁ yathā nijāparādhinaḥ kṣamāmahe, tathaivāsmākam aparādhān kṣamasva|
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
asmān parīkṣāṁ mānaya, kintu pāpātmano rakṣa; rājatvaṁ gauravaṁ parākramaḥ ete sarvve sarvvadā tava; tathāstu|
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
yadi yūyam anyeṣām aparādhān kṣamadhve tarhi yuṣmākaṁ svargasthapitāpi yuṣmān kṣamiṣyate;
15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
kintu yadi yūyam anyeṣām aparādhān na kṣamadhve, tarhi yuṣmākaṁ janakopi yuṣmākam aparādhān na kṣamiṣyate|
16 When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
aparam upavāsakāle kapaṭino janā mānuṣān upavāsaṁ jñāpayituṁ sveṣāṁ vadanāni mlānāni kurvvanti, yūyaṁ ta̮iva viṣaṇavadanā mā bhavata; ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi te svakīyaphalam alabhanta|
17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
yadā tvam upavasasi, tadā yathā lokaistvaṁ upavāsīva na dṛśyase, kintu tava yo'gocaraḥ pitā tenaiva dṛśyase, tatkṛte nijaśirasi tailaṁ marddaya vadanañca prakṣālaya;
18 so that your fasting will not be obvious to men, but only to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
tena tava yaḥ pitā guptadarśī sa prakāśya tubhyaṁ phalaṁ dāsyati|
19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
aparaṁ yatra sthāne kīṭāḥ kalaṅkāśca kṣayaṁ nayanti, caurāśca sandhiṁ karttayitvā corayituṁ śaknuvanti, tādṛśyāṁ medinyāṁ svārthaṁ dhanaṁ mā saṁcinuta|
20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
kintu yatra sthāne kīṭāḥ kalaṅkāśca kṣayaṁ na nayanti, caurāśca sandhiṁ karttayitvā corayituṁ na śaknuvanti, tādṛśe svarge dhanaṁ sañcinuta|
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
yasmāt yatra sthāne yuṣmāṁka dhanaṁ tatraiva khāne yuṣmākaṁ manāṁsi|
22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
locanaṁ dehasya pradīpakaṁ, tasmāt yadi tava locanaṁ prasannaṁ bhavati, tarhi tava kṛtsnaṁ vapu rdīptiyuktaṁ bhaviṣyati|
23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
kintu locane'prasanne tava kṛtsnaṁ vapuḥ tamisrayuktaṁ bhaviṣyati| ataeva yā dīptistvayi vidyate, sā yadi tamisrayuktā bhavati, tarhi tat tamisraṁ kiyan mahat|
24 No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
kopi manujo dvau prabhū sevituṁ na śaknoti, yasmād ekaṁ saṁmanya tadanyaṁ na sammanyate, yadvā ekatra mano nidhāya tadanyam avamanyate; tathā yūyamapīśvaraṁ lakṣmīñcetyubhe sevituṁ na śaknutha|
25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
aparam ahaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ tathyaṁ kathayāmi, kiṁ bhakṣiṣyāmaḥ? kiṁ pāsyāmaḥ? iti prāṇadhāraṇāya mā cintayata; kiṁ paridhāsyāmaḥ? iti kāyarakṣaṇāya na cintayata; bhakṣyāt prāṇā vasanāñca vapūṁṣi kiṁ śreṣṭhāṇi na hi?
26 Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
vihāyaso vihaṅgamān vilokayata; tai rnopyate na kṛtyate bhāṇḍāgāre na sañcīyate'pi; tathāpi yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā tebhya āhāraṁ vitarati|
27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
yūyaṁ tebhyaḥ kiṁ śreṣṭhā na bhavatha? yuṣmākaṁ kaścit manujaḥ cintayan nijāyuṣaḥ kṣaṇamapi varddhayituṁ śaknoti?
28 And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
aparaṁ vasanāya kutaścintayata? kṣetrotpannāni puṣpāṇi kathaṁ varddhante tadālocayata| tāni tantūn notpādayanti kimapi kāryyaṁ na kurvvanti;
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
tathāpyahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, sulemān tādṛg aiśvaryyavānapi tatpuṣpamiva vibhūṣito nāsīt|
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
tasmāt kṣadya vidyamānaṁ ścaḥ cullyāṁ nikṣepsyate tādṛśaṁ yat kṣetrasthitaṁ kusumaṁ tat yadīścara itthaṁ bibhūṣayati, tarhi he stokapratyayino yuṣmān kiṁ na paridhāpayiṣyati?
31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
tasmāt asmābhiḥ kimatsyate? kiñca pāyiṣyate? kiṁ vā paridhāyiṣyate, iti na cintayata|
32 For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
yasmāt devārccakā apīti ceṣṭante; eteṣu dravyeṣu prayojanamastīti yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā jānāti|
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
ataeva prathamata īśvarīyarājyaṁ dharmmañca ceṣṭadhvaṁ, tata etāni vastūni yuṣmabhyaṁ pradāyiṣyante|
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
śvaḥ kṛte mā cintayata, śvaeva svayaṁ svamuddiśya cintayiṣyati; adyatanī yā cintā sādyakṛte pracuratarā|
